Feldspars and their reactions

Abstract

This book contains 15 separately authored contributions which cover: crystal structures of feldspars; aspects of alkali feldspar characterization; phase transition and vibrational spectroscopy in feldspars; partial melting reactions of plagioclases; ternary feldspar/melt equilibria; subsolidus phase relations of plagioclase solid solution; feldspars at high temperature; oscillatory zoning in feldspars; isotopic equilibrium/disequilibrium and diffusion kinetics in feldspars; hydrogen in feldspars; argon diffusion in feldspars; feldspars in igneous rocks; evolution of feldspars in granitic pegmatites; surface chemistry of feldspars; and feldspars and weathering. -A.W.Hall
